                            A - Pours a clear coppery amber color with one finger of bubbly white head that recedes a little too quickly and leaves bits of lace...once receded the head maintains a nice soapy layer on the top of the beer and never disappears completely<br>
                              S - Wow...big citrus hop aroma, but interestingly enough i smelled sweet malts before I even poured. Pine notes come out as it warms and smell oh so heavenly.<br>
                                T - Citrus/grapefruit hop flavors blast up front and then are slowly taken over by sweet chewy malts in the finish. There is something really satisfying about the order of these flavors. Citrus hops linger on the palate long after sipping. Pine comes out as it warms.<br>
                                  M - Hops dance on the tip of your tongue while malts slide down the back of it. Big-bodied (on the higher side of medium, bordering on full), tingly, sticky...a tactile treat for the mouth<br>
                                    D - For a beer with this kind of hop profile and respectable level of alcohol NN is just so damn drinkable. I can't stop sipping it and am resisting the urge to chug. I'm so glad there are 5 more in the fridge.<br>
                                      <br>
                                        This is the first beer I've had in a while that left me wanting another before I even finished. I've had some great brews lately, but usually I try one and then I'm on to the next because I get excited about new things. I will be going back again and again...now if only it wasn't $13 for a damn six pack at Wegs. Will be looking elsewhere...<br>
                                          <br>
                                            The more I drink the more I feel like my ratings aren't high enough and I have already bumped a couple up because of the emerging traits of this beer. I think I'll leave this review alone for now...<br>

                              Bought this as my local Canal's due to a friends suggestion.<br>
                                <br>
                                  This beer is beautiful. Poured into a pint glass. Red/amber color with a thick rocky head that clings to the side of the glass. Head disappears fast though. The smell is excellent, slightly floral and piney with a hoppy smell.<br>
                                    <br>
                                      The taste is complex. Not so hoppy, slightly sweet with a brilliant piney after taste. Like a subtle IPA. Goes down smooth, very drinkable beer.<br>

                                Poured into a snifter, right off the bat noticed the hue and clarity. Before giving the glass a smell I noticed the floral aroma, wonderful. Getting my nose deep into the glass the aroma smells more meaty, but still very appealing.<br>
                                  <br>
                                    It is a hoppy beer, could definitely be considered a big IPA, but very crisp and not too sweet. This beer could pass for a 5% ABV, its light-medium body could definitely sneak up on somebody<br>
                                      <br>
                                        Mouthfeel is a bit foamy, especially since the head was almost non-existent.<br>
                                          <br>
                                            I will definitely be buying more of this beer, it's very drinkable.<br>

                                      A- Prehistoric amber with lots of golden highlights is what comes to mind when looking at this beer. Thin white head floating on the surface that hangs on all the way to the end. Some noticeable carb bubbles floating to the surface.<br>
                                        <br>
                                          S- Mango is the first aroma I pick up on as well as other tropical fruit smells, a bit of spice mixed in with a nice malty backbone.<br>
                                            <br>
                                              T- Nugget nectar indeed! Hops are obviously what this beer is about and they do not disappoint. Not obscenely hopped but perfectly balanced with a nice resinous taste with lots of fruit mixed in.<br>
                                                <br>
                                                  M- Nice carbonation for the style with a touch of hoppy, resinous mouth coating with each mouth full. Medium to full body accompanied with a delicious aftertaste.<br>

                                    The experience for this began when I first cracked the bottle cap as a rush of citric hops assaulted my nose. Poured a beautiful amber color with a 1" white head that dissipated to a thin layer of sudsy bubbles that remained for the rest of the drink with good lacing.<br>
                                      <br>
                                        T - Hops. Citric hops in particular with mostly tastes of grapefruit, with some mango and a hint of cherry, followed by some sweet malts.<br>
                                          <br>
                                            M - Medium body, perfect carbonation, rough on the palate with the citric hops.<br>
                                              <br>
                                                D - Exceptional aroma, great taste, loads of hops.. I want to keep drinking this beer, but after three my palate is about destroyed by the acidity of the hops. Otherwise, I would have scored this higher.<br>

                                                  S- Alot of hop complexity here with some sweet honey malt background. The hops aroma is everything from citrus, tropical fruit like pinapple and a tid bit of earth and pine.<br>

It's not my favorite beer from Tröegs, but it's still worth a try if you haven't had it before. Cheers.<br>
